My Animation Era

It was just Gu Miao's whim to ask Lao Zhang to contact the management of Perak Perak.

He also knew that there was a high probability that this matter would be fruitless.

The relationship between Pili and Pili is much closer than that of Wanbao. Even if he really comes to the point of selling himself to join Penguin, he will still sell himself to Penguin.

But it doesn’t matter.

Originally, Perak Perak was half dead, and users were constantly losing. It would be a good thing if the negotiation could be concluded, but it would not have any impact if the negotiation could not be concluded.

As the Spring Festival approaches, Gu Miao also starts to get busy.

The animation "Martin's Morning" has entered its final sprint, the movies "Goulai Fu Wang" and "Dragon Ball: World No. 1" have begun pre-release promotions, and the "Mobile Suit Gundam" body leak crisis has intensified...

Yes!

Although the Gundam project has a high level of confidentiality, the body design has been exposed due to the small-scale release of the first version of the original Gundam model.

At first, a group of fans bought the Original Gundam model in the official flagship store. They became curious about the origin of the Original Gundam and wanted to know which work this machine came from?

So someone started an investigation.

There is no airtight wall in the world. No matter how well the confidentiality work is done, some clues will eventually be revealed.

Through the new work information disclosed by Wanbao Games, the cooperation between Wanbao Animation and Wanbao Games, and the animation registration information left by Wanbao Animation in the official department, "Mobile Suit Gundam" was finally exposed.

In addition to the original Gundam, other mechas that have appeared in animations have also been picked out by netizens with powerful skills.

During New Year's Day, this incident caused quite a stir.

Almost everyone knows that Wanbao Animation is preparing to produce a new "robot" animation.

Although the specific setting content is unknown, judging from the exposed Gundam body design, the style of this robot animation is still very alternative, and it seems to be different from previous robot animations.

Netizens are talking a lot.

"Hey! The sharp-edged robot is very domineering, with a sense of epic science fiction..."

"Fart! You call this sci-fi? What's so good about this kind of robot? It doesn't look as cool as a treasured mecha!"

"You can't say that. What kind of style is the Fruit Bao mecha? This Gundam is not the same type at first glance. If you insist on comparing it like this, then I have nothing to say."

"What style? Isn't this just a giant robot! It's a concept that often appeared in science fiction movies in the past, but now it's changed into animation and you don't recognize it? It's hilarious!"

"There are so many gangsters, and the animation hasn't aired yet. Can you wait until the animation airs before expressing your opinions?"

Some people like it, some people don't.

After the Gundam body design was exposed, many netizens started discussions around this alternative robot.

It is worth noting that without understanding the story background and setting of Gundam, most people’s first impression of Gundam is not very good.

Mainly, the Gundam's body doesn't look very handsome or cool!

This kind of coolness and coolness refers to the strong animation style like the Dragon God in "Dragon Fighter" and the Demon King of Earth in "Light Messenger".

How to describe it?

Robots such as Dragon God and Earth Demon King give people the first impression that they are handsome, invincible, and have the appearance of robot animations.

On the other hand, Gundam is not that "eye-catching" in appearance.

This shouldn't be the case!

At this moment, netizens still don’t know what the realistic weapon style is, but they simply think that the Gundam’s body design seems different from what they imagined?

"Then in your imagination, what should a Gundam look like?"

"It should be... there is a pair of large light wings on the back, which can be telescopic and unfolded, and then it is wearing a battle armor. The design elements have a bit of mythology, such as dragons, unicorns, and phoenixes!"

"Just say that the Dragon God is what you think the Gundam looks like!" Gu Miao said speechlessly.

Guo Hongwei’s silly thoughts are the same as those of many netizens, who all think that a robot must be designed like the “Dragon God” to be handsome and cool.

Realistic weapon-style robots, especially Gundams, seem to them to lack some domineering power and look weird.

But this is normal!

Why do the designs of robots and mechas on the technological side have to be related to the mysterious side, with mythological elements such as dragons, unicorns, and phoenixes embedded in them?

Indeed, he admitted that by adding these elements to the body design, the robot would look very domineering and classy.

But is this still a product of technology?

Developed along the lines of science and technology, the design style of Gundam is the most realistic "pragmatic" science fiction design concept.

A machine like the Dragon God should not be classified as a "robot".

It's already a dragon god, so why bother comparing it with a robot? Is your robot transformed from a dragon god?

Although they were obviously not of the same style, netizens insisted on comparing them together. This behavior made Gu Miao speechless.

Really awesome!

Even if we take a machine like Transformers Optimus Prime as an example, he probably agrees with it. After all, Brother Zhuzhu can be considered an orthodox technological robot animation.

But the Dragon God and the Light Envoy are really too much. These two are clearly on the magical fantasy side...

"Forget it, I'll understand later."

Gu Miao, who was too lazy to explain to netizens why the Gundam had such a body design, shook her head and asked: "Let's not talk about it for now, are you ready for the movie Gou Lai Fu Wang?"

"Ready."

Guo Hongwei said with confidence: "The movie will definitely be released as scheduled. Master, just wait for my good news."

good news?

But it's not necessarily good news, it might be really bad news, Gu Miao curled her lips and thought.

During this year’s Spring Festival, although there is no heavyweight animated film in China that can compete with "Gou Lai Fu Wang", there is a Dragon Ball theatrical version that is eyeing overseas!

According to the plan, the Dragon Ball movie version is expected to be released on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month this year, which is around the Lantern Festival.

Gou Lai Fu Wang is scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year!

This means that the two movies will collide sooner or later. The Dragon Ball movie version will be released simultaneously around the world. It has huge fame at home and abroad, and its influence cannot be underestimated.

It's okay abroad. After all, "Gou Lai Fu Wang" doesn't expect overseas box office. The main focus is a civil war fantasy god.

But even in China, it seems that Longzhu’s reputation is not low...

Whether Guo Hongwei can survive this test safely is still unknown. After all, Dragon Ball The Movie is a blockbuster that cost 850 million yen to create, and Gou Lai Fu Wang is really incomparable.

"Only 850 million yen?"

When Guo Hongwei heard this number, he suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Didn't you say one billion yen? I saw Nishio also said the same in the interview."

"The external publicity will definitely be exaggerated, and the budget set at the beginning was indeed one billion."

Gu Miao smiled slightly and said: "It's just that I saved a little in the process and didn't spend so much."

Nishio is a good comrade.

He also knew that the Neon Division was short of money, so he controlled the budget as much as possible, saved unnecessary expenses, and compressed the production cost to 850 million yen.

Calculated at the current exchange rate, he saved the company about 10 million yuan and compressed the production budget to 50 million yuan.

This is not a small sum of money!

It can only be said that Nishio has really tried his best. "Dragon Ball: World No. 1" is after all the first theatrical version of the Dragon Ball series. It cannot be too economical, and the money must be spent.

Otherwise, he can completely reduce the production cost and only need more than 20 million yuan to produce it.

But in this case, it’s hard to say whether Dragon Ball The Movie will still have the same effect as it does now.

…

50 million vs 23 million, Xiao Guo has little advantage.

Not to mention the huge disadvantage of production costs, in terms of IP popularity alone, Dragon Ball is also an existence that kills Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf.

The only good news is that Xiao Guo at least has the home court advantage. With the increase brought by the home court, it is not impossible to compete with the Dragon Ball Theatrical version.

But Gu Miao was miserable.

When the animation "Martin's Morning" was officially finalized and confirmed to be broadcast on the Red Crane Cartoon during the Spring Festival, an announcement from CCTV Children's Channel confused him.

"Good news, good news! The world-famous "SpongeBob SquarePants" will soon be broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel. Come and start a wonderful adventure with SpongeBob, Squidward and Patrick!"

ah?

Gu Miao's jaw dropped in shock.

What kind of wonderful development is this? Isn’t it said that it is difficult to obtain import permission for overseas animation and broadcast it on domestic TV stations?

Why was quietly Mimi's "SpongeBob SquarePants" introduced and broadcast by CCTV Children's Channel?

Gu Miao, who was kept in the dark, immediately contacted Dave, the chief director of "SpongeBob SquarePants" after receiving the news, and asked what was going on.

The result surprised him.

It turns out that CCTV had talked to Dave about this matter a long time ago, but CCTV was not very determined at the time. It happened that the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation was popular at the time, so the matter was ignored.

As time went by, the animated "SpongeBob SquarePants" received rave reviews around the world and won numerous awards. The online version also won unanimous praise from Wanbao Video. CCTV Children's Channel remembered this story again.

"Actually, we've been talking about this for almost half a year."

Dave said with a speechless face: "On the contrary, the later "Superman" was successfully introduced, and "SpongeBob SquarePants" has not yet been finalized..."

This is such a drag.

"Superman" was a later animation, but it was all introduced and aired. The first animated film "SpongeBob SquarePants" was not finished yet.

Because there was no agreement, Dave did not tell Mr. Gu.

"Damn it, you pest!"

Gu Miao was very angry and called Dave a cheater. Wasn't this putting him on the fire?

Knowing that he would release a new work during the Spring Festival, it turned out that the introduction of "SpongeBob SquarePants" was concluded at this time.

That's SpongeBob!

Although this animation has been completed for a long time and the second season has not been aired yet, its popularity has declined and is far from its peak.

But Spongebob’s influence cannot be overshadowed. Once it is broadcast on CCTV Children’s Channel, the ratings will definitely not be low.

What about "Martin's Morning"?

Gu Miao doesn't think that "Martin's Morning" has the capital to compete head-on with "SpongeBob SquarePants". The two animations are not on the same level, and they are no match no matter how you look at them.

Not to mention that this is the first time "SpongeBob SquarePants" has been broadcast on domestic TV stations. Even if it is a second or third round of reruns... it will be difficult for Martin to turn over the yellow sponge!

The good news is that the broadcast time period of "SpongeBob SquarePants" announced by CCTV Children's Channel is 17:00-18:00.

As long as this time period is staggered, "Martin's Morning" will not be greatly affected.

But the bad news is that after Red Crane Cartoon excluded the 17:00 pm slot, the only slot available to him was the 21:00 pm slot.

Good guy!

Starting at 9pm?

At this time, although the children are not asleep yet, they are almost sleepy.

If you can choose, the 17:00, 18:00 or even 19:00 slots are definitely the most suitable. Broadcasting at 21:00 is really not a good choice.

"Why did CCTV Children suddenly make an exception and introduce a long-completed "SpongeBob SquarePants" animation?" Lao Zhang was very curious.

"Precisely because it has been completed for a long time, the reputation and reputation are relatively stable, and it has won the recognition of audiences around the world, so CCTV made an exception to introduce it."

Gu Miao sighed.

CCTV has always sought stability. Taking the "SpongeBob SquarePants" animation as an example, they did not introduce it when it was the most popular. Instead, they waited until everything had settled down and were sure there would be no problems before introducing it.

This kind of stability operation ensures that every foreign animation they introduce is the best of the best, a masterpiece that can stand the test of time.

But he also inadvertently persecuted Gu Miao.

How did he know that CCTV Children's Club would suddenly introduce "SpongeBob SquarePants" after half a year?

Please!

Although "SpongeBob SquarePants" is a production of Wanbao, how long has it been since the animation was completed? How could he have thought that an animation that had been finished for a long time would come out to compete with his new work.

Any normal person would probably never imagine such an unfolding.

It can only be said that if someone is unlucky enough to drink cold water, his teeth will be blocked. Gu Miao never dreamed that she would be attacked by a completed animation.

But then again.

Lao Zhang used the term "rare exception" to describe the introduction of "SpongeBob SquarePants" to CCTV Children's Channel. In fact, it was slightly inappropriate.

The CCTV children's love for SpongeBob SquarePants is obvious to all. This is not an exception, but inevitable.

The original version had this inkling.

Few people know that one year after the original "SpongeBob SquarePants" won the Annie Award for Best Television Animation, CCTV introduced the Mandarin dubbing version of SpongeBob SquarePants.

This is not the point. The point is that the time when the original "SpongeBob SquarePants" was broadcast on CCTV Children's Channel was actually 20:00 in the evening on January 29, the first day of the Lunar New Year!

Needless to say how much attention and optimism this deserves, right?

In this parallel world, CCTV Children's Channel also decided to broadcast "SpongeBob SquarePants" on the first day of the new year.

At the same time, with the same work, it is not difficult to see that CCTV Children’s Channel truly loves the work "SpongeBob SquarePants".

A rare exception?

The introduction of SpongeBob SquarePants by other TV stations can be said to be an exception, but for CCTV Children's Channel, it's hard to say...

SpongeBob SquarePants seems to have a very special "attraction" to CCTV Children's Channel. No matter which world it is in, whether it is the original version or the Wanbao version, it will always receive preferential treatment and attention.

This made Gu Miao a little suspicious.

Is there really something special about Spongebob? No one else discovered it, only CCTV Children discovered it?

Otherwise, there is no way to explain why CCTV children like Spongebob so much!

Happy National Day to everyone in advance!
